Green's Child and Adolescent Clinical Psychopharmacology

This fourth edition by Christiane Brems, with new coauthor Christina Rasmussen, provides a clear, compassionate, and practice-oriented foundation for applied clinical work with children aged three to twelve years. Grounded in a biopsychosociocultural model, the book offers an integrated framework for understanding children within the context of their families, culture, and environment. It is designed to guide both prospective and practicing clinicians through the natural progression of clinical work—from self-reflection and ethical considerations to assessment, intervention, and termination—using practical strategies and richly illustrated case studies.

Key Features:

• An integrated biopsychosociocultural approach to case conceptualization and treatment planning
• Strong emphasis on clinician self-awareness as a cornerstone of effective therapeutic relationships
• Comprehensive focus on intensive assessment prior to intervention to ensure individualized care
• Practical guidance on a wide range of intervention techniques, including mindfulness-based approaches for children
• Clear coverage of ethical and legal issues relevant to clinical work with children and families
• Case studies that demonstrate mindful, contextually grounded, and tailored interventions
• A developmental chapter structure that mirrors the real-life flow of clinical practice
